The provider was not very forthcoming with information and different treatment options. It was only when I continued to ask for recommended prescriptions or methods of treatment that I received additional information. The provider intention was to write me 1 prescription for a medication that I mentioned and to send me on my way.

I've been seeing this provider for some years now and I'd highly recommend her to any woman seeking gynecological care. She's friendly, courteous, experienced, very knowledgeable and relatable. She also does a wonderful job in explaining everything so that I'm aware of everything. She has excellent bedside manner and I've never felt that she's rushing along. She's also very thorough.
